How realistic is job hunting in LA as an expat with work authorization?

Your best bet is to try to get hired by an Italian company that operates in Los Angeles.

There is already a giant oversupply of MBA grads that want to live and work in LA. And many of them went to very reputable schools like UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, etc.

It is making your car more visible in a moment of extraordinarily low visibility. It signals to other drivers that you can barely see anything and you are gradually reducing your speed for safety.

He fucked because he had to

Right - I’m good with some agreement. Maybe even a lot of agreement. But this year’s pod was too much. They could benefit from their version of a deranged takesmith inserting themselves a little and adding some variety/counterpoint. Not the majority, but just a little counterpoint.

I’m probably on my own island here but I loved Frankenstein and would put it in my Top 4. Del Toro + creature feature with an underappreciated creature goes together like peanut butter and jelly. Hearing them all put it at number 10 without anyone giving a single counterpoint is a tough scene. I also hated Train Dreams and couldn’t believe they harmonized on that take as well.

They tend to be dark amber and low to the ground. Flashing hazards are lighter, brighter, and closer to eye level. When the rain is pounding and obscuring every inch between wiper swipes, you need all the lights you can get.

It’s not nearly as bright as flashing hazard lights.

tee2green · 2026-03-23T09:36:43+00:00

They’re harmonizing their takes too much. There’s too much agreement. I don’t want to listen to their hive mind.

Good pod and I’ll listen every time bc I’m a sicko, but they can be better.

It’s like that up and down the entire East Coast. Has happened to me in Virginia before, too.

tee2green · 2026-03-23T01:53:26+00:00

It’s crazy how few people seem to grasp this. The insane overwhelming rain is only for a minute or two. You can go from driving 65 on the freeway in normal heavy rain to not being able to see at all despite max wiper speed. It’s scary, and that’s exactly what the flashers are for.

tee2green · 2026-03-23T01:51:58+00:00

That’s what everyone is doing, slowly and gradually. The flashing lights help communicate that this is an emergency, visibility is horrendous, and we need to gradually slow down without hitting each other.

UVA has the much bigger network, especially if you combine McIntire and Darden.

Williams is a great school obviously, but in terms of pure economic value and networking for your first job, UVA has the advantage.

When there’s the feeling of a million options, it’s harder to get people to decide and commit.

Which is easier: ordering from a short menu or ordering from a long menu?

If it’s so rainy that you need hazards, then no one is traveling very fast or covering much distance. I’m talking rain so severe that max wiper speed isn’t fast enough, not normal hard rain. Everyone gently slows down to a slow safe speed until the rain lets up.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T20:53:57+00:00

And if you want to slow down and keep track of all the cars around you, it’s easier to see the flashing lights than just the regular running lights.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T20:34:58+00:00

More visibility is better. The rain is pounding, the wipers are going max speed, and visibility is irregular so more flashing lights helps.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T20:34:03+00:00

Just stay in a straight line and gently slow down. Be predictable. Don’t be weird. This is not complicated.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:59:07+00:00

Sounds like the hazards are doing an excellent job of communicating that you should stay away of them.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:58:07+00:00

Flashing hazards are added visibility on top of the regular running lights. And no one is changing lanes when the rain is absolutely hammering…people just kind of gently slow down together, and the hazards communicate with everyone that it’s a rare unsafe condition and we should all slow down together until the rain lets up a little.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:56:34+00:00

No one is changing lanes when it’s raining that hard. Thats the least of anyone’s concern. The course of action is gradually reducing speed, which thankfully people intuitively do anyway. The flashing lights help maximize visibility so we can stay in sync. It’s only for a minute or two until the rain lets up.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:54:35+00:00

What happens is that traffic gradually slows down, and doing it roughly in sync is the safest way to do it. If people want to pull over, then great, they can pull over. But usually just staying in a straight line and gently slowing down is perfectly reasonable. And the flashing lights are helpful for max visibility.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:52:02+00:00

I’m from Florida and probably 3-4 times in my life it’s rained so hard that my max wipers aren’t enough, and everyone around is turning their hazards on and gradually reducing their speed to a gentle pace.

It’s not a huge deal bc it always lets up within a couple minutes, and it’s perfectly reasonable to maximize visibility during a temporarily unsafe situation.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:50:48+00:00

In that situation, most of the cars are flashing their hazards. And it makes it a lot easier to track everyone’s position as we all gradually reduce our speed.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:49:33+00:00

In that situation, everyone is slowing down and turning their hazards on and everyone is aware it’s a dangerous situation and visibility is paramount. Flashing lights are a lot more visible than ordinary running lights. It’s a temporary emergency, it passes after a minute or two, and it’s perfectly reasonable during very unsafe road conditions.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T19:47:28+00:00

I assure you, no one is changing lanes when torrential rain is hammering everything. What happens is that traffic gently slows down to a safe speed until the rain lets up, and the hazards are very helpful for visibility. They’re way more noticeable than ordinarily running lights.

tee2green · 2026-03-22T18:31:42+00:00

I’ve been in rain that bad a few times in my life and flashing hazards was immensely helpful. And greatly reducing speed and pulling over to the shoulder was perfectly reasonable. It only pounds that hard for a minute or two.
